Sun Has gone down in the West..

To add to the my week's terrible plight , the internet of Egypt and India ( Don't care abt Egypt) were slowed down due to some damage to the undersea cables. To be really honest, I never knew there were any undersea cables laid down for internet. Damn..

Here's a pic showing the cable pattern been laid down undersea.

Its actually stuns you ( Did to me) with the amount of cables which have been implemented. Hundreds of undersea cables often owned and managed by international consortiums keep telecommunications running worldwide. In india only, 60% of users were affected ( including me ) , but large companies switched to there backup plans which made them come in the 40% of the ppl affected really. One of the affected cables affected stretches from France through Mediterranean and Red Seas, then around India to Singapore which is known as Sea Me We 4 ( sounds like a scary movie sequel name ). This cable is owned by 16 telecommunications along its route. The second cable is known as FLAG (Fibre Optic Link around the globe) which runs from Britain to Japan. But amazingly, the movie I was downloading from torrents was constantly giving me arnd 110 kpbs but the browsing speed i cudnt actually check, but you can imagine when Google.com takes time to load, you hav a worst net connection.

I bought this mini-dvi to RCA converter for Macbook to hook it onto tv ystd and am really not pleased with the video quality am getting. I might change it for mini-dvi to VGA. Don't even think about RCA converters , You'll need a DVD quality with big resolution video to atleast look bareable on the extended TV output. And specially for the people who keep hunting and downloading movies from internet, all those AXXO,PUKKA and Diamond video files we download will look absolutely crap and blocky. Watch on the laptop itself I suggest or get it to connect to VGA supported TV. Even windows(Xp) look so glassy and crystal clear thru VGA output which I never noticed from all this time :-).


And finally Liverpool register their first win of this yr '08 with whole bori's of draws in the previous 4 games in EPL. There has been a rumor(Bad) flowing that Stevi G might leave Anfield, but as per now, even Gerrard has come out crashing on the media on these report that he's going to no other club but I tell you what, If Gerrard leaves Liverpool, I'll stop supporting any team in this world really. That will be the last thing pool fans want, so Liverpool must show some champions character to bounce back and be counted as champions. I really cant wait for the champions league clash against the start studded Inter Milan.

Ok, besides football, mercury is falling seamlessly and drastically here,so me and mum dad went today to Bardog ( 35 Kms from my home towards simla ) and hell I tell you. It was the most arresting scene I could imagine. We were about to reach and while on the way, snow fall started and it was simply amazing with snow flakes falling and hitting the windshield of the car. I honestly had a wonderful time with the natures most palest yet the most stupefying ambience known to mankind. ( Did that sound like Disconery Channel ? :-)

So Chill.. which people in north India cant help doin..
